Intel's Vision of the Ongoing Shift to Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is an important transition and a paradigm shift in IT services delivery - one that promises large gains in efficiency and flexibility at a time when demands on data centers are growing exponentially. The tools, building blocks, solutions, and best practices for cloud computing are evolving, and challenges to deploying cloud solutions need to be considered.

The technology and industry leadership that Intel brings to this environment is broader and deeper than most realize. Intel's Cloud 2015 Vision is that cloud computing is federated, automated, and client-aware. Moving the industry toward that promise will require a focus on three industry-wide pillars of cloud computing - efficiency, simplification, and security - and on solutions that are open, multi-vendor and interoperable.
